I know I complain about criticism of Obama, but while the critics love to pan on his supporters and call us out for thinking he can do no wrong, why dont you recognize that you act like he can do nothing right? The fustration on T.V. is that MSNBC is the only channel outside of freakin CSPAN that a young brotha can go to and get a knowledge meal.
I watch because MSNBC has always given me the full story. You dont seem to have any clue just how bad the Media has gotten. Think about this for a minute, you have the Media interviewing the Drill Baby Drill crowd about Obama's handling of the crisis while at the same time hitting him for not allowing more drilling. IN THE SAME 3 MINUTE INTERVIEW!! Comparing the President to a damn BP exec, AND DOING IT LIKE IT"S A FAIR COMPARISON. Now, it seems in a desperation to critize, that you hit on Obama for everything he has done............
You hit him on leadership on the public option when a health care package without it barely squeezed through without it. Matthews wants Obama to seize the oil industry when Lawsuits are being filed just for a drilling moratorium. You complained all night about Obama not doing enough in the speech and then complained the next day about the speech being done before he got the $20 billion dollars. We complain about War without recognizing how screwed up Bush left things.
The stuff Obama is doing is historic and he's doing it with a weak Senate Leader. There is no Nancy in the Senate, period. Hell, he could even get all of his cabinet through with 60 freakin Democrats. Its as if we push the entire party on his lap and assign blame. If you are trying to help strategize about politics, that cool, I understand. I cant figure out for the life of me how this administration is left to clean up two wars, a fledging economy, North Korea, Iran, Bush tax cuts and the like and allow for anyone to talk about budget deficits, period. But instead of criticizing non-stop, like CNN, FOX, ABC, CBS, and every other outlet, it would be nice to get the full monty from you guys in Primetime. And if you dont believe how much better this channel is than the rest, 1. get your head out of the sand and 2. go look at the sad segment Wolf Blizer does day in and day out. OMG.
Sadly, you have the responsibility to be FAIR AND BALANCED. and I'm being totally serious. In two hours time, Wolf did at least 6 stories with comentators about Obama golfing vs. the Oil Exec. Yes, it sounds stupid when I type it, but that is really what happened yesterday. Criticise the guy, but lets not loose focus on how we got into this mess.
